What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of the intended stay
  • No visa needed for stays up to 180 days
  • Proof of onward/return travel
  • Proof of accommodation
  • Sufficient funds for the stay
  • No biometrics or advance registration required - an immigration/customs form is completed on the flight and the passport stamped on arrival
  • Travel health insurance is recommended though not mandatory

Visa types

  • Visa-exempt tourist/business entry - up to 180 days (6 months), single or multiple entries within that window, free of charge
  • Work permit - required separately for anyone taking up paid employment, applied for through Dominica's Ministry of Labour once a job offer is secured
  • Economic Citizenship/residency - a separate long-term investment-based programme, not relevant to short visits

Entry conditions

  • Up to 180 days permitted per visit
  • No employment allowed without a separate work permit
  • Must show return/onward ticket and sufficient funds if asked
  • Extensions beyond 180 days are granted at the discretion of the Immigration Department on application before the visa-exempt period expires

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for the visa-exempt entry
  • Processing is immediate on arrival
  • A departure tax usually built into the airline ticket price applies when leaving
  • Any extension application processed locally carries a modest administrative fee, typically under USD 50

Tips for United Kingdom travelers

  • Keep proof of return travel handy, as this is sometimes checked at check-in by airlines flying into small Caribbean airports
  • Confirm accommodation in advance, since Dominica has limited large-hotel capacity outside peak season
  • Hurricane season (June-November) can affect flights, so check UK travel advice before departure
  • Carry some cash (Eastern Caribbean dollars or USD), as card acceptance can be patchy outside the capital, Roseau
